Before coming to Time, he was a senior writer at Washington City Paper.

(snort) Lovely credentials; a senior writer for a far-left weekly free rag that's good for nothing except the nightclub and classified sections.

And it's part of this left-wing attack machine that David Brock has invented for himself in his shame.

Ooh, bingo!

All of this validates what I am reading in Slander by Ann Coulter. Attack the conservative! They don't think of Time as news; they think of it as propaganda. That's why they are mad. Haha!

picture that we used on the cover is apparently such a horrible image for conservatives that they can't even read the story.

I'll still read the article BUT that picture is atrocious, a deliberate smear.

[George Smiley]

I say it again- they don't get it.

Coulter takes one of the Left's favorite weapons, hyperbolic rhetoric, and uses it "back at them".

David Horowitz does the same thing with political theater.

And it has the desired effect- it drives them absolutely nuts because they're totally unused to be on the receiving end of either tactic, and are therefore completely unprepared to deal with it.

I enjoyed the Time piece. I got a better sense of the woman without the cheerleading or smearing that a biased writer would employ. She is certainly not for the faint of heart but she obviously has a following.

I read her for the humor factor and also to hear a rebuttal of the other side. She assumes that the reader already knows the facts so in her style of writing she is weaving a script that hits hard and fast and only at the other side. She is the ultimate conservative cheerleader.

And, it just pisses off the left that someone points out where they are full of it.

We rage, because the truth isn't told.

They rage because it is.

I could not care less what conservatives or liberals think of Time magazine's covers,

But I bet your editors do (cha-ching! Conservatism sells!)

and if people read my work over the years [zzzzzz] -- I've been a journalist for ten years --[ZZZZZZZ] and if you read that body of work[ZZZZZZZ!] I think you'll see that I'm not trying to kiss up to conservatives.

I'm a good liberal--I really am!

And if you look at Time magazine, even over the last month, this idea that we're kissing up to conservatives is wrong.

Who disagrees with that?

From www.time.com/time/covers:

[Joe Brower]

"A few weeks ago, we put Jeffrey Sachs' book on how to end poverty on the cover. I mean, is that going to be a huge seller for conservatives?"

Cloud says obviously prejudiced things like the above, and then swear up and down he's not biased. Just like the rest of his self-anointed media-elite cadre, they are so brainwashed that he cannot even recognize, much less acknowledge, his own double standards.

Keep digging, crud, keep digging.

Interesting how the MSM works. I reporter tries to write a fair article on Coulter and all his liberal friends attack him demanding to know why he gave "the enemy" publicity or write a savage hit piece.

CJR - what a joke. Does anyone to the right of Teddy Kennedy think Alterman or David Brock have ANY credibility. One is a left-wing liar, now funded by SOROS, and the other is so stupid, left-wing, and obnoxious, he was kicked off FOX news-watch. That Alterman refuses to debate Coulter is no surprise, since he has no wit and is intellectually dishonest.

[Forgiven_Sinner]

From a marketing point of view, the cover and article have been absolutely brilliant. Ann Coulter is a brilliantly controversial columnist and speaker who stirs debate. The cover, despite our complaints, is striking and attractive. She's easy on the eyes--remember, covers sell magazines. Time already has liberal readers--this article attracts conservatives ones too.

The article was written neutrally enough to let her controversy shine though and spark further debate.

I wonder what Alexa shows about their web hits since that article came out--I expect they went through the roof.

John Cloud, a journalist with impeccable liberal credentials, gets a small hint as to what conservatives are subjected to from the leftists who control the MSM and academia. Do you suppose it might cause him to reassess his deeply held beliefs?
